South American football federations will back UEFA's Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency, its regional group said. South American Football Confederation president Juan Angel Napout said the group would vote "as a block" for Infantino at the February 26 election for a successor to Sepp Blatter, head of the scandal-tainted FIFA.

"We have spoken with Gianni to set out what is needed," he added late Thursday after the Conmebol meeting in Rio de Janeiro. Infantino is currently secretary general of UEFA and one of six candidates for the FIFA presidency. The Swiss official has said he will stand aside if his boss UEFA president Michel Platini is allowed to stand.
